Pirates Weigh McCutchen Return in Offensive Rebuild
TL;DR Summary
The Pittsburgh Pirates are considering re-signing franchise icon Andrew McCutchen for 2026, weighing his fit as a part-time DH and clubhouse leader as they assemble a more potent lineup. McCutchen, who hit .239/.333/.367 with 13 homers and a 95 wRC+ in 2025, would likely slot into a limited role behind newly signed DH/1B option Ryan O’Hearn (with Spencer Horwitz) rather than becoming a regular, with Cherington saying roster construction will determine whether they bring him back.
